One Homes, Pakistan’s fastest-growing premium residential developer, has confirmed two landmark design appointments for its upcoming development in Lahore West: the return of Miami-based architect Kobi Karp and the debut appointment of London interior design studio Jolie marking the studio’s first project in Pakistan.
The announcement follows One Homes’ significant land acquisition in Lahore West, where the developer is planning its next signature address, designed from the ground up for the overseas Pakistani diaspora.
“One Canal was bringing some of Miami’s magic to Lahore. This time we’re going to be blending Lahore’s rich history with modern design and aesthetics. Think luxury living with cultural rooting, tapping into Lahore’s millennial history,” said Kobi Karp, the founder and principal of Kobi Karp’s Architecture and Interior Design.
Karp previously served as lead design architect on One Canal Road, One Homes’ flagship Lahore development One Canal Road, which has since become one of the city’s most recognised addresses. His return signals not only the strength of that collaboration but the ambition of what follows. For this project, Karp has cited a shift in design intent from import to interpretation, drawing on Lahore’s layered architectural identity to inform a building that belongs to its city as much as it reaches beyond it.
